No plans to make any changes to N53 closure

25 August 2015

Louth County Council says there are no plans to make any changes to the temporary closure of the Dundalk/Castleblayney Road.
The three month closure of the N53 between Barronstown and Hackballscross - to facilitate major road reconstruction work, came into force yesterday and has led to complaints about road safety issues and the need for additional signage.
A spokesperson for the local authority says the site is in the control of the contractor.
They added that the contractor in consultation with Louth County Council staff will examine again the issue of the signage and where it is felt improvements can be made this will be addressed.
